A multi-comfort approach to interior construction

To keep up with rapid urbanization in rapidly growing markets (such as India) and aging construction in mature markets, the industry will have to build more, build better and renovate the buildings people live in today. And, to meet the challenges of sustainable development, Saint-Gobain is working towards habitat solutions of the future.

Values

Over the years, the Saint-Gobain Group has evolved a number of shared principles, which have guided our activities across the world. These shared principles have been given written expression to strengthen their application within the group. The Saint-Gobain Group's General Principles of Conduct and Action include:

Principles of conduct

Professional commitment

Professional commitment means mobilising an individual's knowledge and know-how, as well as training to keep them up-to-date. It means personal commitment and a willingness to take on assigned tasks and to acquire the knowledge necessary to do the job. It also calls for each person to care for the environment and worker health and safety.

Respect for others

Respect for others is absolutely essential to ensure each person's professional and personal development. It involves accepting other cultures and of people of different origins, and a readiness to listen to others, to inform, to explain, and to engage in dialogue.

Integrity

Saint-Gobain requires rigorous adherence to probity in all professional activities. No individual may put his or her own interests ahead of the group – whether in dealing within the group or on its behalf with third parties.

Loyalty

All individuals must practice honesty and fairness in dealing with superiors, colleagues, subordinates and third parties. Individuals should not pursue their self-interest when it comes into conflict with the goals of the company or the group as a whole. There should be strict adherence to guidelines and internal rules of individual companies and of the group.

Solidarity

Solidarity is based on a sense of individual responsibility at work, working as a team and bringing out the best in each person, to achieve the objectives of the company and the group. It means rejecting management or operational methods geared more to the satisfaction of certain individuals rather than the interests of the individual company or the group.

Principles of action

Respect for the law

All group companies must follow the laws and regulations of the countries in which they do business. In particular, they must not indulge in actions that might breach competition law. They must refrain from any form of political activity or financing, even if it is allowed under local laws. They must also reject all forms of active or passive corruption, whether in domestic or international transactions. Furthermore, they must avoid loopholes or inadequacies in any laws or regulations if that means non-compliance with the norms of the Saint-Gobain Group in the areas described below.

Caring for the environment

Group companies should actively promote the protection of the environment. All company sites should set clear environmental targets and regularly monitor them, measuring them against these targets. They must strive to raise environmental performance standards to match the best in the group – even if that means going beyond the requirements of local legislation.

Worker health and safety

Group companies should take particular care to ensure the best possible protection against health and safety risks in the workplace. They must adopt risk reduction policies check actual results against applicable standards. Such policies must apply not just to their own employees but also to the employees of subcontractors, when the latter are working on a group site. They must strive to raise the health and safety performance standards of their own sites to the best found in the group – even if that means going beyond the requirements of local legislation.

Employee rights

Group companies must scrupulously respect employees' rights, and must promote active dialogue. They must not use forced, compulsory, or child labour – whether directly or indirectly or through sub-contractors. They must also refrain from any form of discrimination against their employees, whether in the recruitment process, in hiring, or during or at the end of the employment relationship.
